Once You Go Chic, You Will Always Be Cold

Canadian East Coast winters suck…Well, only if you’re like me and will always choose to be chic over being toasty warm. Otherwise, they’re actually pretty dope. For me, I’ve always had slight difficulty finding the happy-medium for an outfit that is chic, yet keeps me nice and warm. I’ll either go too stylish and get frostbite, or I’ll go way too casual, and be rather unfashionable, but at the right temperature out in the cold. And let’s just say, after losing feeling in my toes during this shoot, I’m ready to throw away all my clothes and buy thermal gear. HA, gotcha! So what if I fall on my face, or lose a couple of toes to the cold. At least I’ll be looking good doing it! Okay, but in all seriousness, winter is a cold and dreary time. However, just because it seems dark and depressing outside, it doesn’t mean you can no longer use color! This whole outfit has a neutral base, but I’ve added striped socks, a cropped sweater and polka dot pants. Each pattern is so subtle that it brings out the other’s. Avoid black coats and find one that pops. Especially since the jacket will not only be the first thing people notice, but can often be the only piece people will see! Fashion shouldn’t hibernate just because it’s in snow-man’s land! Oh, and if at one point you are ready to flash your chic outfit hidden underneath your coat, you should definitely wait until you’re inside. Needless to say, it didn’t take long before my face matched my lipstick.
